Broadway Sweeney Todd
Discussion questions for Broadway Sweeney Todd?
I'm looking for good quiz / discussion questions for my class. They will dvd watching the Broadway musical Sweeney Todd (not the movie version) and I need some good questions, fun. Suggestions?

It has been my favorite musical since I was in second grade and I waas totally disgusted with the movie of the same. (Just thought I'd share)
